Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 9. Zero Gravity Dive
This was school. Every day, every hour of classes.Basic combat and advanced weapon training. Alien biology and technology. Tactics and strategies. Survival Skills. Communication and Coordination. Psychology. Standard Medical Training. Intelligence Analysis.Many things to learn.Jed worked as hard as anyone. All of them struggled for the first time in their lives. They better struggled here than against an alien monster.But the games – that was when the fun began.The Captainof the 9th Division, Henry Reed, introduced them to the game room in their second month. The arena was located in the northeast building of the base, far from where they lived. They walked to where the biggest diving pool Jed ever saw was built, about half of a football field. The floor was clear thick glass, so they could see what lay beneath the water.Jed was shaking with excitement. One more list he’d crossed off in his bucket list.“Let’s get you dressed first,” Captain Reed said, climbing down the stairs on
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 10. Let Game Begins
Jed placed his feet on an uneven object as big as his previous office desk and pushed himself away. The impact made him dashed towards a red prism near the diving pool’s side.He didn’t know left or right, nor where up and down was. Before the game started, the way up was clear because the water was lighter due to the clear glass. However, once the game began on Captain Reed’s command, the clear glass was closed by a lid and everything became darker.The zero gravity environment in the diving pool also made everything feel the same. There was no pull towards the earth’s core, so one could easily forget where the way up was while being here.Nearing the red prism, Jed stretched his hands in front of him, bracing the impact to not make him face-plant against the hard object again. He saw one of the white cubes containing a gun headed there, so he’d get–“Not so fast, Jerky Jed!”Ryan Tanner appeared from behind the red prism and snatched the white cube away. It opened with a touch, show
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 11. The Last One Standing
00:03:23That was the time left before Captain Reed stopped the game. Jed only had less than four minutes to hide as best as he could and arm himself with a Lightlock.He had fallen into Ricky’s trap like a fool. He underestimated the blond and unknowingly mocking him like their other teammates, that he didn’t consider any other possibility. When Ricky pulled that Lightlock out of nowhere and shot him dead in the chest, he felt so betrayed like an idiot. However, he felt relieved because it’d be a fair fight.00:02:07Time was ticking down and Jed’s win slowly seemed so unreal. Ducking behind a yellow prism, he hid from the living menace who strolled around like a predator.“Where are you, little fish snack?” Ryan looked around while singing a tune. “Come here, come here, Jerky Jed.”That was the second time Ryan Tanner called him that. Now, Jed wondered why he was a jerk here. As long as he re
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 12. The Holy Search for A Chocolate Ice Cream
Jed never imagined that his hunt for a chocolate ice cream would lead him through the throng of people dancing in waste in a nightclub called Goddess’ Virtue. But here he was, spending his first off-day from the Force to cross one of his bucket lists.He heard a rumour in the dining hall about Smokey, the night club’s owner who trades on the black market. It was the only place he could think of concerning the rare chocolate ice cream that stopped being produced when the last factory was destroyed about three decades ago. Even though he knew the method to make it himself, to get cocoa as the main ingredient would be impossible.Alien monsters attacking one place after another in random outbursts caused the supply chain around the world to be restricted. Besides, the government and leading figures often disregard anything else besides eradicating the remaining alien monsters on Earth and strengthening the military force in preparation for another invasion in
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 13. Win, Win, Chicken Dinner
After finding out who Max Petrovich was, Jed took a daring plan in mind. He went to the station and rode a bullet train heading straight to Brexton, a neighbouring city with an enormous alien monster rampaging wildly. All for the sake of meeting EADF’s strongest captain to deliver a ridiculous message and get his prized chocolate ice cream.Jed grinned, imagining how the legendary rare chocolate ice cream would taste in his mouth.However, due to the ongoing alien attack at the centre of the city, the bullet train stopped three stations before its actual destination. In fact, all train stations from there on stopped operating, as the protocol when alien monsters strike a city.“Do you need a ride, sir?”Jed turned to a taxi driver offering from the station’s exit. He nodded and got in the yellow car. “How close can you get me to the alien attacked area?”The driver looked worriedly from the rear view mirror, but his mouth couldn’t lie. “D
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 14. Bloodstone Shards
A fucking flying heavy-duty tank was above them.Jed reflected on his misserable life. He would be dead in less than seven months peacefully, hopefully. But, the freaking tank probbaly would kill him any seconds now.Fuck.There was a way to escape this instant death, but Jed wasn’t sure it was a great idea. It’d cost him to reveal something he’d like to keep in secret. Although, it was way better than being a crushed potato.Shit. Shit. Shit.Using the Threxian Exosuit was the only way to keep his body intact, but he wasn’t alone. The strongest Captain in the Earth Allied Defense Force was here. If Jed’s strange power was found out, he could end up locked in a secret facility with chains and straightjacket, enduring many inhumane experiments day and night until his last breath.Of course, unless they found a way to revive him and keep on experimenting. Or they’d just use his dead body for it.Jed c
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 15. Frogsbane Coil
“Bloodstone Shards.”Jed felt a warmth blooming from the centre of his spine that travelled to his left hand. A sliver of red appeared from the cracks of his exosuit, like an angry vein that burst out instantly. It formed a crystalline red shard that broke into seven jagged fragments. Sharp arrows as long as his forearm.[Skill – Bloodstone Shards was activated.]The crystalline arrows circled around Jed’s left hand, hovering obediently. Ready to be shot anytime he commands.And so he did.“Fire.”Jed shot his left hand forward and the seven crystalline red arrows shot out to the enormous ape-like alien that chopped off Max’s arm. In that distance, it took less than ten seconds for the arrows to hit right on the monster’s left eye.The monster roared in pain.Max used that opportunity to grab his warhammer. Using his left hand this time. He didn’t know why the ape-like monst
Bucket List of the Apocalypse: Devour System 16. Gravitation Trap
Jed was fully horrified by the cut off limb dripping blood, rather than from Max’s malicious killing intent. He didn’t know why the captain pursued him instead of getting his mutilated arm fixed. Was he okay with losing a limb?The warhammer suddenly swung on his face. Jed’s quick reflex from his passive skill, Aerial Grace, played a big part in his survival. He leaped backwards, getting some distance between them. But, Max didn’t stand still. He dashed forward, a warhammer lifted high above his head.Jed knew what would happen if that heavy duty weapon hit his head, it’d be game over for him. Eyes widened behind his white and jagged exosuit, he swiftly backed away from the powerful attack.Bam!A crater formed on the ground from the heavy impact. And Max wasn’t done. He followed Jed with eagle-sharp eyes, muscles bulging in preparation of another mighty strike.Jed had to get away quickly.For someone as tall and big as Ma
